This was mentioned as well on the NBL show on One HD. I don't think they said he would play just be a guest but we will see.

You have reached new lows when you sign a contract to play with the Kings.

So an international superstar like Iverson has nothing else to do in his day other than to create a diversion for a team he has probably never heard of?

Iverson is an attention seeker. Surely they can get rid of their bench players and starters and just play Iverson

"Iverson agreed to a $4 million, two-year deal with Besiktas to play in the Turkish and European leagues after no NBA team offered him a contract this year. He is averaging 9.6 points and 3.6 assists after five games."

Why pay $2M a year for 9 points a game ?

According to the Age the NBL salary cap is $1M..................... lol best of luck there mate

Iverson is washed up,if he came to Australia he would come for a holiday and not even try his best,waste of money and it won't happen anyway.

It would be funny to see dumb Australians pack out these stadiums only to find out that Iverson is washed up and as hopeless now as a NBL player,not to mnention the fact he wouldn't even try anyway.
